Lyon vs Auxerre Prediction & Betting Tips

Lyon vs Auxerre Preview

Lyon host Auxerre at the Groupama Stadium in Ligue 1 this week, and the hosts arrive in encouraging form following a stunning win over PSG last time out. Auxerre have been decent on their travels recently but will find this a considerably tougher test than their recent away fixtures.

The head-to-head record leans in Lyon’s favour at home. They won 1-3 away at Auxerre last season and drew 2-2 at home the season before, with Auxerre’s only recent win in this fixture coming as far back as 2023. Lyon will fancy their chances of building on that record here.

Lyon Firing On All Cylinders At Fortress Groupama

Lyon’s home form has been genuinely impressive in recent weeks. Their last home outing produced a commanding 2-0 win over Lorient, and before that they beat Nice 2-0 and edged out Lille 1-0 in convincing fashion at the Groupama Stadium.

The only blemish in their recent home record was a frustrating 1-2 defeat to Monaco, which looks like an isolated setback rather than a persistent weakness. Three wins in their last four home matches is a healthy and encouraging return heading into this fixture.

Auxerre Picking Up Draws But Struggling To Win Away

Auxerre have been a difficult side to break down in their recent away outings but have struggled to convert that resilience into victories. They drew 2-2 at Monaco and 1-1 at Le Havre in their last two away matches, showing they can score on the road.

Their most damaging away result recently was a 1-0 defeat at Marseille, and prior to their decent Monaco draw they also lost 1-0 at Marseille, suggesting they tend to fall short against stronger opposition. Winning away at Lyon would represent a significant step up from those performances.

Lyon vs Auxerre Prediction

Lyon look well placed to win this one at home, and the combination market of Lyon to win and both teams to score is available at 3.60 odds, which represents strong value given both sides’ recent scoring records.

For those who want a higher goals market, over 3.5 goals in the match is priced at 3.40 odds and is worth considering given Lyon’s attacking intent at home and Auxerre’s tendency to score away from home.

A Lyon 3-1 victory lines up well with the expected flow of this match, with Auxerre likely to grab one while Lyon push for multiple goals. That correct score is available at 13.00 odds.
